So I'm thinking about changing up my workout routine when I full on start my bulk. I've been using self-designed routines for about the last 2 years with pretty good success, but I seem to rely on the same things over and over so it's become a bit stagnant. I'd like to hear some thoughts from you guys on current and potential future routines
My current routine (L/P/P, 3 on 1 off):
Legs:
Squat (5x5)
SLDL (5x5)
Leg Extension (3x8-12) SS w/ Seated Calf Raise (3x10-15)
Lying Hamstring Curl (3x8-12) SS w/ Standing Calf Raise (3x10-15)
Leg Press (FST-7)

Future - Considering doing 5/3/1 and PHAT as I've heard good things about both. I'm looking for pure hypertrophy as I really couldn't care less about strength so I'm really open to anything. What are you guys' suggestions/experiences? Also, I'd be willing to be someone's guinea pig if they want to work with me and design something (This goes for diet as well!)

Yup I got it posted above. I personally think some strength work is important for hypertrophy. So I got it split in 3 way splits. First half is strength and second half is hypertrophy. Never training to failure so my CNS can recover and I can train 6x/week. Day 7 completely off with recovery work like foam rolling.

Could follow my routine with me and see how it goes? I think I posted it above

I'll have to dig a bit... looks like its spread through a few posts. Unless you have the full thing somewhere and wanna PM/email it or just post the whole thing. That'd make this even more competitive ha... I'm always down for that. We take out as many variables as possible and the only differences in gainz will be decided by a few supps and general MAN ha.

Lol I'm so down!

I have my own particular rep / set / tempo schemes that I use with clients. PM me your email and I'll send you my sheet with the my plan for the program.

Its also got my Peri wo nutrition for when I get cals high enough. I do always rotate exercises though but I will manipulate rep / tempo depending on the week, workout type and intensity wave. Programming for the win

PM'd

Im def gonna be changing up my nutrition for the bulk as I wanna get carbs back into my regular diet. Gonna figure out how I wanna balance things once I get my calories up a bit higher as I seem to be holding steady at this weight while increasing my cals so that's good. thinking I'll hopefully settle around 2500-2700 or so to start and add from there.

I feel ya. Yeah I'm curious as to what maintenance will be with the Synthroid now and after reversing you should reach maintenance at a lower bodyweight / body fat. So I'm excited for more food.

What my coach outlined to me is we're basically gonna increase regular days by 100 kcal and 25 CHO and decrease the 2x a week refeeds by the same until they match. And then just slowly keep increasing and adding in more CHO. I really learned a lot about my body. Taking on a 85/15 split in terms of eating "clean/bro" but realizing I can eat ice cream and pop tarts to keep me sane. A **** load of veggies has me feeling ten times better too. Literally 6-8 servings fruit/veg and I feel so much better.

Big effing things

Ya I need to get my head wrapped around the 85/15 part still. I've always struggled with all or nothing/ clean or binge. I love to eat tho so I want to be able to stay reasonable but still enjoy. It'll be a good time. I'm excited to really put my body through the wringer and see what comes out in the spring.

Forgot to mention I dropped TTA this weekend. Currently my only supps are Thyrocaps (2 caps am,1 cap pre workout), Cannibal Alpha (finishing up Wednesday), and Reduce XT (finishing up next week). I'll be totally off everything by late next week and through vacation. Might even take the week after vacation off (labor day and a wedding the next weekend) as well just to let everything settle. After that, its GAME ON!

After those 8 weeks, I might do a short 2 week cut to help improve insulin resistance and generally "clean up" some body fat. I'll have to reassess where I'm at here and see how I want to proceed as far as supplements go. Might throw in 8 wks of Epro (new) with my cutting and then beyond.

Thinking my stack to start things off will be: 1-8 ABE 1-8 Alphamax 50 workouts X Factor + GMS + Peak Beta After those 8 weeks, I might do a short 2 week cut to help improve insulin resistance and generally "clean up" some body fat.

2 week cut is not hardly gonna do anything. Id go for a minimum of 4 week cut.

Same here. That's by far the cheapest I've ever seen it so I figured now's the time to give it a go.

Thanks for the Orbit consideration brother we do very well with EvoMuse pricing, I just posted this elsewhere but in terms if value from a supplement (effectiveness vs. cost) Gut Health is damn hard to beat.

Remember the code SOCIAL so it is about 15 each (2 month supply!)
